Just Whatever's On My Mind

" I don't understand."
What's not to understand?
" Well shouldn't you be scared all the time?"
No, sometimes it's very easy to ignore.
" You know they aren't real?"
I realize it's physically impossible, yeah.
" Why do they scare you then? How do you not realize they're not real?"
Why do you cry when book characters die?
Or in TV shows?
Why do you jeer at the bad guys?
You know they aren't real.
" Yeah but when I'm watching it they feel real."
It's very similar to that.
" But this isn't a tv show, you make these people in your head."
Haha yeah, and that's the worst part about it.
See
You can turn off your tv. You can close your book.

There's only one way I can turn off my brain.
